Strategic Gaming: South China Sea Conflict 2015

01.04.2015

Invited by Alfred Gerstl and Josef Falko Loher, about 40 Students of various backgrounds, both Bachelor and Master students, left the ordinary class room for a very special course at the Department of East Asian Studies.

Taking the South China Sea Conflict as a real world background scenario, the two members of the Chair of East Asian Economy and Society (EcoS) organised a two day strategic game which simulated a highly complex and dynamic conflict involving main actors to act, react and interact in bi- and multilateral settings. Students were able to gain valuable knowledge about the conflict in focus, its various actors, economic, political and military dimensions.
